The successful candidate will be responsible for developing plumbing system designs, performing hydraulic calculations, and ensuring compliance with applicable codes and standards in residential, commercial, or industrial construction projects.This role requires a strong technical background, proficiency in design software, and excellent problem-solving abilities. Key Responsibilities Plumbing System Design: Develop detailed plumbing design plans, layouts, and schematics for various building types (residential, commercial, industrial, healthcare, etc.), including: Domestic cold and hot water supply systems. Sanitary drainage and vent systems. Stormwater drainage systems (gravity and pumped). Specialty waste systems (e.g., acid waste, medical gas plumbing, laboratory waste). Natural gas piping systems Irrigation systems. Water treatment systems (if applicable). Create schematic and detailed drawings. Prepare riser diagrams, isometric drawings, and details. Select appropriate plumbing fixtures, equipment (e.g., pumps, water heaters, backflow preventers, storage tanks), and materials based on project requirements, performance, efficiency, and budget. Calculations and Analysis: Perform comprehensive hydraulic calculations for water supply, pressure loss, flow rates, and pipe sizing to ensure adequate water pressure and efficient distribution. Conduct drainage capacity calculations, vent sizing, and stack sizing according to relevant codes. Perform calculations for water heater sizing, hot water demand, and storage requirements. Conduct energy modeling and water efficiency calculations to support sustainable design initiatives. Analyze and optimize plumbing systems for cost-effectiveness, energy efficiency, and sustainability. Code Compliance & Standards: Ensure all designs and calculations strictly adhere to local, national, and international plumbing codes and regulations (e.g., National Plumbing Code of India, IPC, UPC, NFPA,NBC where applicable). Stay up-to-date with the latest industry standards, technologies, and best practices in plumbing design. Prepare technical reports and documentation for regulatory submissions and client review. Collaboration & Coordination: Collaborate effectively with architects, structural engineers, mechanical engineers, electrical engineers, civil engineers, and other multidisciplinary teams to integrate plumbing systems seamlessly into overall project designs. Participate in project planning, development, and review meetings. Coordinate with contractors and suppliers during the construction phase, addressing technical queries and providing clarifications. Conduct site visits for existing system assessments, data gathering, and construction progress monitoring. Documentation & Project Management: Prepare detailed specifications, bills of quantities (BOQ), and cost estimates for plumbing systems. Review and approve shop drawings and submittals from contractors and vendors. Troubleshoot and resolve plumbing design and installation issues during all project phases. Manage project timelines, budgets, and deliverables, ensuring quality standards are met. Maintain accurate project documentation and records. Mentorship & Continuous Improvement (for Senior roles): Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior engineers and drafting teams.
